This paper reminds that Kosovo will face general election in a month, in the
same time, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced government
reconstruction, while media speculate on a possible new elections. 

Jutarnji.hr assesses that the situation in Kosovo is rather tense. The head
of radical party Vetëvendosje!, "controversial and indocile" Albin Kurti is
among the favorites for assuming the post of Prime Minister. 

Also, the Kosovo elections are expected to bring a government ready for a
new round of talks with Serbia, because Brussels is already fed up with the
tensions between Belgrade and Pristina. The Croatian newspaper, however,
estimates that the outcome of the October elections could, as things stand,
bring about a situation that could complicate relations, or radicalize
things further. 

For the moment, Jutarnji explains, Kosovo's Albanian parties are in the
process of forming coalitions, as it is clear that no one will have the
power to rule alone. Everyone rejects the possibility of co-operation with
Hashim Thaci's Kosovo Democratic Party and now already a former Parliament
Speaker Kadri Veseli. 

The outcome of the talks between Albin Kurti and the Democratic League of
Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, is rather uncertain as they fight over who will assume
prime minister's role. They both want that role because their coalition has
a real chance of winning. 

Kurti's position is certainly stronger in that alliance, as he does not
answer to anyone. "The embassies in Pristina are horrified by such division,
as he is certainly one of the few Kosovo politicians who is not subject to
international influence and is not under control. He is an extremist," the
Croatian newspaper said. 

If Kurti wins the election, taking the leading role in Kosovo, a scenario
for his two major competitors Haradinaj and Thaci of striking new alliance
out of necessity is quite possible. 

But, as Jutarnji put it, "it is not only Albanians that face with problems.
Things are boiling with the Serbs, too, because they are also divided into
several fractions, two of them being leading ones. The one with the Serbian
List and the one against it.
